AIPW Summary: This application relates to transferring images between devices (generally a host device and a portable device), including modifying the image format so that it can be displayed properly on the receiving device. The image is modified at the host device before transfer to the portable device, so that the computing load is carried by the host device and saves battery power at the portable device (paragraphs 0039-0040). This process can be accelerated by storing an image profile on the portable device, and then only downloading images that fit the profile from the host device.
